This lecture on the occasion of retirement from the chair of psychopathology presents a review of some important issues in this field: the culture of listening, questioning and research as a basis for need-adapted treatment. The hropological oncepts of the psychiatrist re considered and the question of a patient: what does the psychiatrist know of the human psyche? The “normality” of suffering and ailments as an inevitable part of life is mentioned as well as various aspects of the disease concept. Full article

The recent search for new concepts in neuroscience and philosophy leads to interdisciplinary investigations, which are often put under the concept of “neurophilosophy”. However, this happens mostly without any explicit discussion of the concept itself and the linked methodology. Therefore it is the aim of this article to define and characterise the concept of neurophilosophy as well as its specific methodological approach. Neurophilosophy is defined as an independent discipline, which deals with interdisciplinary questions and is characterised by the specific methodology of “transdisciplinary circulation”. The interdisciplinary questions comprise subjects on the boundary between philosophy and neuroscience. Thereby it should be possible to establish a “transdisciplinary relationship” between theoretical hypotheses and observable facts. Full article

The psychiatrist Ludwig Binswanger and the philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre both developed a psychopathology independently from each other based on Heidegger’s hermeneutic anthropology. In spite of their common starting point the two concepts differ fundamentally. Like Sartre, Binswanger initially rejects relating to a normative concept of mental health. Instead he interprets the various symptoms as meaningful parts of a personal “project of the world” (“Weltentwurf”). However, he introduces the normative perspective again when he describes neurotic and psychotic symptoms as a manifestation of a deformed “project of the world”. Sartre, on the other hand, starting from a radical concept of the subject, understands the “project of the world” as a fundamental choice with which the individual “makes himself what he is”. Therefore his “existential psychoanalysis” provides an instrument for the interpretation of psychopathological phenomena. It originates in the human being’s metaphysical suffering from his/her own finitude. Full article

Setting out from the crisis facing social psychiatry in establishing itself as a science, an attempt is made to determine the autonomous epistemological place of social psychiatry: its subject is the mentally ill individual, who is viewed in the light of the methodological and anthropological features of experience with the forms of his vulnerability and self-alienation. Today the criterion for psychiatry’s status as a social science is the view that there is justification for an autonomous form of social therapy which differs from individual psychotherapy just as much as from organic somatic and psycho-pharmacotherapy. Its goal is to learn about the potentials for self-alienation which are worked through as mental illness in individual, institutional and social forms. Thus, social therapy also involves an autonomous ethic of social psychiatry which can be justified as an ethic of alterity, in the tradition of Hippocratic medicine as an ethic of care for others; this likewise reflects the politico-social framework for institutional transfer and an institutional psychotherapy.

This paper discusses its main theme through (1) presentation of, and (2) objections to Weizsäcker’s Social Disease and Social Recovery (1930). (1) Social disease in the narrow, elementary sense is a social neurosis specified as a legal and compensation neurosis arising primarily from a situation produced by social insurance. Weizsäcker defines it as an attitude in which legal claims are exaggerated and where treatment should be aimed at restoring the patient’s fitness for work. In a broader, more fundamental sense it represents a disease affecting society and only to be overcome by a reform of social insurance which will protect the state from the individual and the individual from the state. (2) “Social” does not completely fit the concept of the disease, nor does the disease entirely fit the term “social”. Social disease is also extrasocial, inasmuch as it involves three things: a fiction of the patient’s own, that he desires a form of self-constituted legitimacy and the unfreedom which typifies any neurosis. What is essentially extrasocial is recovery modelled on Kierkegaard’s “healthy mind”. Finally, the paper discusses the position of the government-employed physician, between service to the state and service to the patient, and criticises Weizsäcker in that, as a “social civil servant”, he can only resolve the tensions inherent in his position in favour of the state, regardless of his personalistic demands for dialogue.
